Born in Rajasthan, Divyansh comes from a family with no prior connections to shooting. His father, Ashok Panwar, is involved in healthcare services. Notably, Divyansh gained recognition in 2019 by clinching successive gold medals in the World Junior Shooting Championship, setting the stage for his impressive journey to the Tokyo Olympics.

Despite a challenging Asian Games, Divyansh, on returning to his homeland, took a brief break from the sport. Guided by his coach, Deepak Kumar, he received advice on mental conditioning, leading him to rediscover his passion. This renewed focus culminated in his remarkable world record-breaking performance in Paris.

Currently, Divyansh holds the fourth position in the national rankings, earning him an opportunity to compete in the Paris Olympics trials. As the trials approach at the end of the year, all eyes are on Divyansh as he prepares to represent India at the grand stage of the Paris Olympics.
